The coffin joint, between the distal trochlea of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]], [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]] and the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|distal sesamoid ('''navicular bone''')]], allows extension and slight flexion movements. The '''navicular bursa''' lies between the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|navicular bone]] and the deep digital flexor tendon. The joint capsule attaches to the articular periphery and has two pouches, a small dorsal and larger palmar pouch. The dorsal pouch extends under the common digital extensor tendon to just proximal of the coronary band. The palmar pouch extends under the deep digital flexor tendon to the approximately half way up the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]]. It dips between the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]] and sesamoid and bulges laterally where it is related to the collateral ligaments. | The coffin joint, between the distal trochlea of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]], [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]] and the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Sesamoid (Navicular) Bone|distal sesamoid ('''navicular bone''')]], allows extension and slight flexion movements.
